There’s a reason nutritionists tend to recommend lemon juice as the first drink of the morning. If you’ve ever been to a health farm, or to India for that matter, you’ll know that lemon juice is typically drunk immediately on waking. The reason is that it’s a wonderful digestive aid.

If your digestive system isn’t functioning optimally, it doesn’t matter how many so-called “super foods” you eat, you won’t be getting the nutrients your body needs. We are what we can "absorb" after all.Lemon juice, being a digestion-boosting power-house with an energising tangy flavour, is therefore exactly the right drink to kick-start both your metabolism and your energy levels first thing. So, as soon as you wake up – before getting dressed or having breakfast – drink a glass of fresh lemon juice.

This is one of those habits that's as easy to do as not and if I'm honest I often slip in and out of the habit myself especially if I've been traveling around a lot.

Use fresh lemons only, and mix your lemonade fresh just before drinking. Adding a pinch of cayenne pepper adds extra zing to the flavour as well as a stimulatory heating effect that speeds cleansing and elimination.

Enjoy, as I will be on my holiday in Spain this month!

ABOUT

Hi I'm Lisa, The Nutritional Realist.

I have a holistic method of working,
looking at every aspect of you and how it impacts your goal. Ultimately
it's all about you. I'm the resource to enable you to get to your health
goals and stay there! I'll coach you to throw the pebble that will
create positive ripples throughout your life.

While
working on a professional equestrian event and teaching yard I noticed
how much science, care & time went into preparing the horse's meals
while we just grabbed anything hot and quick! It
ignited a burning interest in my own fitness and health I moved to
London and trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION). During
this time I also qualified as a NLP practitioner.

Then in 2007 I experienced an unknown
illness which left me fighting for my life in hospital. To this day I
firmly believe that without my nutrition knowledge I would not have
survived.

I graduated ION in 2010 with the Patrick
Holford award for success in the face of adversity and a strong
personal and professional understanding of illness. I was also labelled
with CFS (chronic Fatigue syndrome) but continued to work for UrBod
honing my therapist skills and gaining fantastic experience; for me
there's nothing better than seeing my clients' symptoms reduce and their
lives improve.

After a move back north (home) I formed
my company The Nutritional Realist. My belief is that nutrition should
be easy, it should work with and for you. Food is your fuel to be
enjoyed with your life.
